Beginning in 1859, the West shed what it once knew about the world and put in its place a thin, obscene fairy tale about how finch beaks proved that “evolution” made us, not God.

Feelings are the sacred book, the inspired text of the American popular religion, and our Christian faith has become syncretistic with this pagan superstition.

That nations will have gods and have religion is inescapable. Our nation, like all nations, will always be religious, and so will our government. All that is in question is (1) whether we will collectively identify the religion our government assumes, and (2) whether that religion is true.

Thin complementarianism avoids the charge of outright disobedience to some of the most plain and obvious commands in Scripture. But by indicating that those commands (and the rest of the Bible) have no bearing on female leadership elsewhere in society, they set the commands themselves up as an arbitrary act of God.

A man’s sinful sexual desires towards men should not be repackaged or diverted; they should be confessed and repented of. They are dangerous to him and hostile towards God.

No mindset of irredeemable and imprecise moral guilt can legitimately deal with sin and reconcile sinners. Instead it will further wound and divide them.

The spectacle of these big election seasons can draw a higher portion of our attention than they actually merit. Their allure is incommensurate to their impact on the people we are most responsible for.

Because they are impressionable and weaker than adults, we have historically not sent children to fight our wars for us, to arrest our criminals for us, to sign up for credit cards or get married or elect their own medical treatment. Our society reflected our correct accounting for the vulnerable nature of children: We shielded them. But now that vulnerability is being made use of. It is being mined.

Schools influence the sentiments and consciences and the ongoing thinking of their students. Or, as one might justly call them: Their disciples.

Our children will never have morally neutral classrooms, teachers, favorite stories, favorite songs, or best friends. All of these things catechize, disciple, craft the hearts of children. We must account for that reality as we delegate and manage the training and raising of the children He has knit together and then entrusted to us.

Each of us serves and worships our god, and each of us brings that god into our marriages, our jobs, our voting booths, our budgets, and every square inch of this blood-bought, God-owned world we walk on.

Sex between a man and his wife is a wonderful gift that puts flesh and bone and pleasure and pregnancy and emotion to the reality of love.

The evolutionary worldview’s delta is nihilistic, despairing, utilitarian. It reeks to high heaven of contempt for the human being, or at least other human beings.
